# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add vegan ground sausage and red pepper flakes. Cook, breaking it apart, until browned and heated through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, chilies, and garlic. Season with sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
02 -
Stir in tomato paste, vegan broth, soy sauce, and vinegar. Add potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and cover. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender.
03 -
Add green peas and olives to the pan. Stir well to combine. Simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens and potatoes are fully tender.
04 -
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over cooked white rice.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Choose a vegan ground sausage that maintains texture during simmering for best results.
02 -
Adjust spice levels by increasing or omitting red pepper flakes to suit personal preference.
03 -
Prepare and measure all ingredients before cooking to streamline the process.
04 -
Taste the dish before serving to fine-tune the balance of sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar.
